You’re invited. Virtual live crowdfunding event.

United Way Glenelg is proud to present SharkPitch, a spectacular live crowdfunding event where we will connect people who want to make a change with people who are doing it!

This spectacular event will support three local community organisations that will pitch their idea to a live audience for both financial and in-kind support of their program. Our emcee, Neil O’Donnell will engage with the audience to pledge funds, to raise over $10,000 per organisation. Thanks to the support of AWA Alliance Bank and United Way Glenelg your donation will be matched.

MEET THE ORGANISATION THAT WILL BE PITCHING

Funky Hearts

Parenting can be a challenge, but it shouldn’t be hard!  Through participation in a series of community workshops, we at Funky Hearts hope to equip families with loving, yet powerful tools for parenting children of all ages. Parents will be better placed to raise confident and motivated children who are ready for the real world and be their absolute best!

Portland Little Athletics Club

Athletics encourages children to become active, develop fundamental motor skills, and keep on improving. Protection from falls, slips and injuries can be achieved by installing a specialised rubber top on run-ups for long-jump & triple-jump runways. Perhaps we can be home to the next Commonwealth Games champion.

SayNo2FamilyViolenceGlenelg

SayNo2FamilyViolenceGlenelg recognises that one of the by-products of two years of COVID-imposed lockdowns is the significant increase in the number of social media incidents involving cyberbullying and sexting. “Collective Shout”, a nationally recognised education program will be invited to deliver workshops to secondary students, teachers, and parents as an important step to help our community reduce sexploitation and family violence.
